SHADE AND GLOBE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 752,225, dated February 16, 1904.

Application filed October 29, 1903. I

To all whomit may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. HQMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Meriden, New Haven county, State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Shade and Globe Holders, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in globe and shade holders, and particularly to a construction adapted to support a shade and a globe or bobasche.

This invention is adapted to be used with incandescent gas-lighting apparatus. In the past it has been customary in constructions of this character to support the shade at the top by means of a ring or rim, the globe or bobasche being supported at the base by a separate construction. The parts are liable to he accidentally separated, and thus break the globes and shades. I have simplified the construction in this invention by uniting the structure which supports the globe to that which supports the shade and have improved the means for supporting the latter to increase the security of the holding of the parts and yet maintain a simple construction which may be economically manufactured.

In the single sheet of drawings accompanying this specification and forming a part of my application, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a holder embodying the improvements of my invention with a globe and shade in place, the parts being shown by themselves, since it is not necessary to illustrate a support for the same, which may be of any form desired. Fig. 2 is a plan view of my improved construction, the globe and shade being removed. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a detail, on an enlarged scale, showing a portion of the connecting-ring and a supportinglug for the globe or bobasche.

1 is a ring having an annular flange 2 on the interior for reinforcing and strengthening the same.

3, 4t, and 5 are arms which are secured to the ring 2 in a suitable manner and serve to sup- Serial No. 178,985. (No model.)

port the shade 6 on their upper ends, which engage the outer rim of the shade.

7, 8, and 9 are shoulders formed by the bending up of the material of the ring 2 at the with and bent up, so as to form guiding or centering members for the globe or bobasche. They alternate with the arms 3, 4:, and 5.

13, 14, and 15 are ears, which are secured to the lugs 1O, 11, and 12 and extend at right angles thereto. These are preferably formed of the material of the lugs by punching the same out, as shown particularly in Fig. 3. The ears lie in the same vertical planes as the tops of the shoulder projections 7, 8, and 9, so that the globe or bobasche 16 rests on these ears and is supported by them as well as by the shoulders 7, 8, and 9. These ears are preferably formed of such dimensions and positioned so that they will hold the globe or bobasche securely in place, springing out against the inside of the same when in oper ation. The globe is thus supported at difierent points.

This construction will be seen to be very simple and economical tomanufacture, and it has been found to be eflicient in its operation.

The construction may be employed in incandescent gas-burners of a suitable construction and in conjunction with chimneys and mantles of any form desired. The parts to which the invention relates, however, are set forth in the following claims.

I claim- 1. A globeand shade holder comprising-an annular ring, a series of arms secured thereto and projecting upward and outward for holding a shade, a series of lugs secured to said ring and alternating with the arms for centering a globe or bobasche, the base of said arms being adapted to support the globe.

2. A globe and shade holder comprising a ring, a series of arms secured thereto for supporting the lower outer edge of a shade, a series of centering-lugs alternating with the arms and formed integral with said ring and porting a shade, lugs integral with said ring projecting ears formed integral with said lugs and bent upward, ears integral with said lugs for supporting a globe or bobasche. bent outwardly, said lugs serving to center a 5 3. A globe and shade holder comprising a globe or bobasche and to support the same by 5 ring, a series of arms projecting upwardly means of the ears.

and outwardly therefrom for supporting a Signed at Meriden this 20th day of October,

shade, a series of lugs alternating with said 1903.

arms whereby a globe or bobasche may be supported by the-said lugs and by the base of WILLIAM HOMAN' IO said arms. Witnesses:

4. A globe and shade holder comprising a ALFRED DUNLOP,
